Valdepenas debut impresses, but future at Real Madrid uncertain

Real Madrid is not planning to sign new players this winter but will facilitate departures. Endrick Felipe will be loaned to Lyon for the remainder of the season, marking the first exit from the squad. Another player potentially leaving is Victor Valdepenas, who recently made his first-team debut.

Valdepenas's debut against Alaves came due to multiple absences. Despite his impressive performance, his long-term future at the Bernabeu remains uncertain. Both Arsenal and Borussia Dortmund have expressed interest in the 19-year-old talent, a situation BILD has confirmed.

Although Real Madrid has previously rejected transfer offers for Valdepenas, his recent first-team appearance could make any deal for Arsenal or Dortmund more complex. If a transfer occurs, it would likely include a buy-back clause, a common practice for the club to retain control over outgoing young talents from La Fabrica.
